The objective of the study is to understand the experiences of patients and their loved ones when living with diabetes and taking Insulin.

For those ones who are London based the research takes place on Dec 14th - group or individual interview.

Did a post on this earlier under Diabetes Discussion 'new therapies?' but see this might be the best place for it. Clemson University researchers published a way of reversing hardening of the arteries in Chronic Kidney Disease, and it seems to apply for wider diabetes where hardening of the arteries is a big challenge. The link was smartly posted by Guzzler. Seems exciting. Anybody else hear about this?]]>11Diabetes and Compassion StudyTue, 10 Mar 2020 13:55:11 +0000https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/diabetes-and-compassion-study.171373/
